I talked with Lucas Harari for Publishers Weekly about his noirish body-swap graphic novel ‘The Case of David Zimmerman’ (a loose film adaptation, ‘The Unknown,’ premiered at Cannes this year), Paris heatwaves, and his illustration for the issue’s cover.

Due to unexpected school closures this week, my daughter was home to see me eat sardines on toast for lunch, and defamed me on regional high school social media.
